With the affair as the background:

She was ready for some fun, but he said his wife found out and wants him to end it quietly. He's too much of a coward to leave her, so he's ending this even though it's not what he promised.

The table reflection shows him unchanged, yet she's less clear. Possibly a representation of the inner turmoil, where there is one.

Pretty much exactly what I see.

Nice catch on the reflection.
